You may have seen some of our adverts on Facebook.
Following such an advert may even be the reason you’re reading this now.
For the last few months we’ve had some of our member successes up in ‘morph’ style videos.
Where the picture of them when they started with us ‘morphs’ into how they look now.
We fully appreciate that pictures aren’t the entirety of the story of someone’s changes with us.
But Facebook is a very visual platform and it works well.
We’ve been putting similar things on Facebook for the best part of a decade now.
And there’s been one consistent theme about the comments they receive in all that time.
The negative ones are always, always from guys.
100% of the time.
And, when I have a little nosey on their profile, they are always overweight.
And, in the vast majority of cases, their feeds are filled with self pitying posts about how “sh!t” their lives are and how “everyone” else is in the wrong and keep doing things “to them”.
Here’s a few recent ones.
– “What’s he done, changed his shirt”
– “His hairs grown back”
– “His wife has washed his top too hot with black undies”
– “Changed his clothes ???”
– “Whats he achieved a different t shirt!!!”
– “He looked better before the weight loss lol”
– “It’s the same fella side on 😂😂😂”
– “The ability to inflate and deflate himself?”
Now, I get these aren’t mega offensive (some are and I usually delete and block straight away).
But they’re all very dismissive of someone else’s success.
Bear in mind that these pictures usually show someone losing several stone – they are pretty obvious transformations.
The comments are not a reflection of the person shown in the post.
They are a reflection of the person making the comment.
It’s their thing.
Entirely.
None of our business.
Always worth remembering.
Other people’s actions and reactions are their thing.
How our actions and words makes them feel and react has absolutely nothing to do with us.
It it theirs and theirs alone.
If someone tries to flabotage us when we make changes to our life (“Stop being boring”, “You’re making me feel bad”, “You’re no fun anymore”, “Come on, just have one”)………….
That’s their thing.
Someone criticises what we do, that’s their thing.
All we can do is live our life how we feel right.
Living our life in any other way because of how others react to it does no one any favours.
No one gets the best version of you.
You don’t get the life you want.
Live your life in line with what you value, what’s important to you.
And never forget that you, those around you and the world benefits the most when that happens 🙂
Much love,
Jon ‘s and Dolls’ Hall
